About Me

My name is Vanessa Nolte. I’ve been stamping for about 8 years. I have, within the last year, gotten really addicted to making cards and other things. I love it! I have a wonderful husband (who helped me create this site) and no children as of yet. I try to stamp at least once a week, but hopefully more if time allows. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know people in the stamping world and learning all kinds of new things through blogs and online stamping forums!

Two more cards tonight…

So I spent the afternoon getting some cards done for someÂ CPS. Â I had fun doing these and using some different things for one of the cards. Â It is getting really late right now and I have to get up early, so this may not be as detailed as I would have liked it to be. Â Anyways, here is my first card.

Â So, I used one of my reed diffusers that I got for a gift a few years back and took out a couple of the reeds. Â I cut them in half for this card. Â The Sketch called for some type of plant/stick with leaves. Â I wanted to do something different. Â See the sketchÂ HERE. Â I used a $1.00 stamp from Michaels on both of my cards today. Â I got both of them as little gifts from Wish RAK exchanges. Â For those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about with a Reed Difuser, it is basically a bunch of reeds in a jar of oil… the oil soaks up through the reeds and makes your room smell lovely! Â Here is my reed diffuser that I took them from. Â Hopefully it doesn’t look too bare… it is a decoration in my house!

Â

Â My next card was for the CPS sketch #40. Â I thought this could be a good Valentines day card.Â I used another Michaels $1.00 stamp and my cuttlebug again. Â I really love that thing! Â I embossed the “Hugs to You” with Petal Pink embossing powder. Â HEREÂ is the link to this Sketch. Â Very fun!

Â Well, that is all I’m going to share tonight… I’m so tired! Â Have a great night everyone!
